Man is charged with sexual assault of 10-year-old girl in Princeton Twp.

PRINCETON TOWNSHIP – A 29-year-old man was arrested Sunday evening and charged with assaulting a 10-year-old girl over an unknown period of time, police said today.

Jose Ramon Castro-Silva, address unknown, was charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a minor. The crimes allegedly occurred inside a private home in the township, Sgt. Michael Cifelli said.

“We don’t have any reason to think there are other victims out there, but we’re releasing this information just in case,” he said.

One of the girl’s parents came to police to report the abuse and Castro-Silva was in custody within 24 hours, Cifelli said. He was arrested around 6:50 p.m. Sunday at police headquarters following an interview.

Police did not go into detail about how Castro-Silva knew the girl, but said the two are not related.

Authorities are reviewing Castro-Silva’s immigration status. He is not in the state’s database for convicted sex offenders, and police said they believe it was his first arrest for this type of offense.
